Listmates,

Yast's ability to search for rpms that "provides" a file are totally out of
kilter. I was searching from withing Yast sw mgmt. for the file that provided
ps2html and yast responds "No Results". OK, then I tested to see if it could
find a package for a file that is on my system just to confirm that it was
working so I checked the "Search in"

[X] Name
[X] Summary
[X] Description
[X] RPM "Provides"
[X] RPM "Requires"

options just to make sure all bases were covered and then tried to have it
find a package for 'ps2pdf' that is on my system as /usr/bin/ps2pdf and again
Yast returned "No Results" - WTF?

I confirmed that rpm hadn't lost its mind:

[02:44 alchemy/home/david] # rpm -qf --provides /usr/bin/ps2pdf
ghostscript
gs
gs_lib
pstoraster
ghostscript_any
ghostscript-serv
libgs.so.8()(64bit)
libijs.so.1()(64bit)
ghostscript-library = 8.62-17.1

What is up with Yast?? Before I file a bug report I want to confirm that
someone else is seeing the same thing. Thanks.


David,

I confirmed that 11.0 with most recently available updates applied (possibly not a factor just mentioned) replicates your tests and results exactly. IMO, you have found a buglistable bug. I suggest filing the report....
